Branded(sinners) is a pretty unique book, where did you come up with the idea?
Abi came up with the concept of branding people with the Seven Sins when she was in the shower one day. Then she began to write. After starting, she sent what she had written to Missy because her & Missy talked books all the time. Missy then added some more and then sent it back. So, the book grew as we each added more and more. Honestly, we didn’t really have a roadmap for the plot when we started. We kinda just tweaked the storyline as we went.
What was your least favorite part of the writing process?
Probably the constant editing and late nights spent hunched over our laptops. We both have young children so coffee helps us survive the daytime. Haha.
Do you base your characters off people you know?
Sometimes. ;) I’d say our main character, Lexi, is a mix of both of us.
What made you decide to give the book a face lift and change some things in the book?
We felt like we had grown as writers throughout the year and wanted to make it better. There were some scenes we knew needed work. I’d say that both of us feel like we gave the rewrite all we had… and we’re thrilled with the finished manuscript!
If you were branded what would your brand be?
Missy- probably red for wrath. haha
Rumor has it, that this will/ is becoming a series. Is that true?
Yes.
If so, what can we look forward to in the upcoming books?
More action and definitely more surprises. We laid out the formula for all three books now, so we’ve got some secrets up our sleeves.
Thank you again for taking time to answer some of my questions. I look forward to reading more of the sinners series.
Thank you!
